One of John Kennedys dreams was to make the world safe for diversity. In this city. and in this country. we have seen how the diversity of our historical identity. and the freedom to preserve it. have been sources of strength. For. historically speaking. we are all immigrants. Very few of us have parents or grandparents who were not newcomers to this country. Some of them had to fight for acceptance. and although some never achieved it. they lived to see their children gain it. So it was with my parents. They immigrated to this countrymy father from Sligo and my mother from Limerick. Today. the Irish are still coming. They have had a love affair with America for over 100 years and there are no signs of abatement.
